Chapter 1247: Chapter 1247. Ending the First Test. Star Forge Lady.
Yasenia observed the mountain for a while. It was not large by any ans. Ten thousand ters in height for a mountain in a high-level cultivation world could be considered a small mountain. There were those who reached heights ten tis that mountain. That didn’t an that traversing the 10,000 ters would be easy as long as the formations in place were good enough.
And, when Luan Feixue and Shen Miao stepped onto the mountain, Yasenia knew that they were more than good enough. The second the girls placed their feet at the base of the mountain, a force slamd onto their bodies, preventing flight and any other similar type of transportation.
The dragoness looked around and saw a few winged beast-humans flapping their wings to no avail. Others tried using their swords, and others summoned their contracted beasts. Shen Miao was one of those, only to be equally disappointed. "What do you an you can’t fly, Baihe?"
Feixue glanced around and also noticed the oddity. She asked quietly. "Yasenia, what’s going on?"
The dragoness didn’t mind answering. "There is a mountain-wide formation. This formation will make it impossible to fly for most cultivators, beasts, and beastkin. Of course, such a large and complex formation will have many more functions than preventing flight. Be careful, little ones. The journey to the 3000-ter mark will not be easy."
Shen Miao’s eyebrows gained a deep frown. "Even if we can’t fly, Baihe should be able to carry us on his back, right?"
But Luan Feixue did not agree to her suggestion. "Shen Miao, this is a test. I suggest that we don’t use shortcuts to pass it."
"How is this a shortcut?" Shen Miao protested. "Baihe is part of
through the contract. Therefore, his strength is also my strength! This should not be considered cheating!"
There was so truth to those words. Still, Luan Feixue shook her head. "I can’t risk being eliminated because of a mistake like that. You can go on his back if you want, but I’ll climb on my own."
Seeing Feixue shoot forward at a rather fast speed, Shen Miao frowned and looked at Baihe. "Do you also think like her?"
Baihe tilted his head and didn’t answer. "Hmph, whatever. If she later misses the entry test because she was late, let’s see who will be laughing then!"
Shen Miao, therefore, mounted on Baihe’s back and ordered it to run. Even as a flying beast, he could run extrely quickly. Baihe quickly caught up to Feixue and overca her. Yasenia glanced at Feixue’s complicated expression and chuckled. "Are you regretting it now?"
"No." Feixue sighed. "I just hope that Shen Miao is not disqualified because of that."
Yasenia reassured her. "I don’t think she will be. For now, though, focus on yourself. There is a beast to your northwest~."
Feixue glanced over, and her eyes narrowed. The beast was similar to a large feline, but with electric currents going around its body. The deep black and azure color of its fur coat lit up as electricity charged through its body. Then, it pounced at Feixue at an extrely fast speed.
Sadly for it, Feixue was even more agile. "[Seven Star Illusion]."
Her body blurred as seven copies of herself appeared around her. This confused the large cat, prompting it to attack one of those while discharging roaring lightning from its body.
’Huh? It wasn’t confused?’ The girl was surprised when the beast attacked her real body, not knowing that it was pure chance that the beast chose the correct illusion. Even then, Feixue didn’t panic.
[Seven Star Illusion: Converge]!"
The six illusions transford into white rays of light, rushing at the large feline and landing on its body with brutal strength.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The beast wailed in pain, its body crashing against the ground as Feixue overca it and ignored it. Receiving that attack, the large cat was naturally angry, so it glared at Feixue’s back, ready to pounce.
Nevertheless, Feixue was not soone who would allow herself to be ambushed by a defeated enemy. "[Seven Star Illusion: Light Cannon]!"
The illusions around her materialized into seven large cannons, which pointed at the pouncing beast. Then, they fired lasers directly at it.
BOOM!!
The lasers converged in a single point right before the beast, creating a gargantuan explosion that threw the black and azure beast tumbling back several ters. The beast tumbled a few tis, its sight blurry for a few seconds.
When it recovered, Feixue was long gone. This made the beast angry enough to slam a few trees around it, creating charring marks with each of its strikes.
Yasenia humd with interest. "You are quite rciful."
"Huh?" The comnt ca as a surprise. "What do you an?"
Her confusion was quickly cleared. "You have enough strength to kill it in one strike without slowing down. Why bother using attacks that confuse it? It is a waste of ti."
Luan Feixue looked a bit awkward. After hesitating for a few seconds, she blurted. "I don’t want to kill many beasts. After I got you as my companion, it feels strange to kill wild monsters as easily as before."
"Oh?" The dragoness was sowhat confused about that. Personally, she had never experienced a similar matter. For example, even if she were a Dragon or had a spirit as her companion, she would not hesitate to kill them if they were bothering her enough. At the end of the day, Yasenia did not murder for sport. Still, she would not allow even a grain of sand to be stuck in her eye.
Nevertheless, that didn’t an that she didn’t understand. So, she clarified, just in case. "I don’t mind if you kill. They are trying to hunt you, so they should be prepared to be hunted back. The sa goes for Dragons or any related species. Don’t hold back because of , Feixue. That will only endanger you for a reason that’s not even important."
"Hm..." Feixue was hesitant even after hearing about it. "I’ll think about it. It just doesn’t sit quite right with
for now."
The dragoness was amused when she heard her answer. It sounded as if Yasenia was urging her to kill beasts!
"No need to clarify. I won’t force you to do sothing like that. Hahaha."
The journey to the 3000-ter mark was neither hard nor easy. With a few tily warnings from the dragoness, Feixue was able to push through all troubles and arrive at the top within the ti fra stipulated. The biggest obstacle while climbing was the gradually increasing pressure and the stronger beasts that would appear in the way.
Feixue would not succumb to these things.
Once in the area, she looked around and searched for Shen Miao. It didn’t take long to find her. When she was about to call for her, she saw Shen Miao laughing and speaking with an unknown man. Luan Feixue instantly beca curious as to who would be able to make that arrogant Shen Miao laugh like that in such a short amount of ti. After all, they must’ve t for no longer than a few hours.
She approached curiously, and the man quickly felt her gaze. "Hm? Shen Miao, do you know this girl? She is looking at us quite... blatantly."
Looking over, Shen Miao saw Feixue raising her hand with a smile. She smiled back and nodded. "Yes. She is a friend I made along the way. Big Brother Xing will get along with her as well." She then called Feixue. "Why are you looking at us from a distance? Quickly co over!"
Seeing those two speaking made Feixue feel sowhat strange for a mont. She actually had thoughts that Shen Miao might separate from her and go with that handso man for the rest of the sect tests. When that thought appeared, there was an uncomfortable feeling in her heart. Thankfully, Shen Miao called her before she could look deeply into her wronged feelings.
Once she was called, Feixue approached with short steps and a smile. "Shen Miao, did you qualify at the end?"
The rich girl rolled her eyes. "I told you not to worry. Of course, I did. I’ve been waiting here for so long that I beca bored!"
"Oh?" The man surnad Xing smirked. "Am I being a bother, Shen Miao?"
"Ah." Shen Miao beca flustered and waved her hands. "Not at all, not at all. Don’t listen to my nonsense, Big Brother Xing."
The dragoness leaned on her tail and looked at Feixue’s face. When she saw her lips arching down, she smirked. ’This is getting interesting, hehe~.’
Luan Feixue extended her hand and spoke. "Hello, I am Xuefei. Shen Miao insisted on calling
out because of sothing I had done a long ti ago. I hope Mister Xing doesn’t follow her bad habit and call
by my proper na."
When Feixue spoke, Shen Miao froze for a mont. She had completely forgotten that Feixue asked her to be called Xuefei when speaking with other people. She couldn’t help but throw an apologetic gaze at Feixue, who just waved her hand.
"Then, I’ll call you Xuefei from now on. Thank you for clarifying." The man smiled and extended his hand. "This one is called Xing Luo, it is a pleasure to et you. Also, you can call
Big Brother Xing like Shen Miao if you want."
Seeing his gentle smile, Luan Feixue felt sowhat comforted and decided to go along with his words. She nodded and called with a smile. "Big Brother Xing."
The three people wanted to continue speaking, but a mature woman appeared before them with a flat expression. She blurted. "Since you’ve passed the first round, you’ll move to the Martial Test now. You’ll fight shadows of previous participants, and to pass, you need to defeat five of them. The limit one can defeat is nine shadows, and the ti you can rest between challenges is 30 minutes. The formation is large enough for everyone, so don’t worry about taking turns."
The woman humd for a little while more and blinked. "Ah. I should present myself... Or, well, did that old man present himself? Anyway, I am one of the teachers, Star Forge Lady. You can call
Star Forge or Lady Star."
Shen Miao’s eyes widened. "Star Forge Lady!?"
Yasenia was unaware of this woman, but seeing the shock in everyone around her, she asked Feixue. ’Who is this?’
’You don’t know her!?’ Feixue explained. ’She is extrely famous because she once created a Star powerful enough to match the Sect Master! She is considered the strongest protector of the sect besides the Sect Master, and she is known throughout the entire world as one of the best users of the Star Attribute!’
The dragoness blinked a few tis. ’Oh~, she sounds mighty.’
